Interesting. My yorkshire chum from University used it thus:
Chuffing - swear word, as in "chuffing 'eck"
Chuff - wind, <schoolboy slang> as in "eurgh, who's chuffed?"
Chuffed - pleased

I am mostly southern and I used the latter two in the same way but never
used the first. We also had
Chuffed it - failed

Womble





It depends upon your location in the UK.

In the South, where I am, if you're chuffed, you're over the moon,
ecstatic, happy as Larry.

In the North, however... well... It's essentially a swearword :)
